How do I pick specific files to document using 'Pick my own files'?

Short Answer: Choose 'Pick my own files', expand the file tree or use 'Search files...' to check files, confirm the summary, then click 'Generate documentation'.

Prerequisites

1. Repository and branch selected

2. GitHub account connected

Steps

1. On the 'Select files to document' page open the 'Choose files to document' dropdown and select 'Pick my own files'.
   A file tree and 'Search files...' field appear.

2. Expand folders in the file tree and check the boxes for files you want to document.
   Checked files are highlighted in the list.

3. Use 'Search files...' to filter by filename if needed.
   The file list shows matching results only.

4. Review the selection summary at the bottom (e.g., '12 files selected • 32 units • Free left: 50/50 • Estimated cost: $3.20').
   You can see the selected file count and estimated cost.

5. Click 'Generate documentation'.
   Generation starts or a 'Review files' modal appears if AI flagged files.

Troubleshooting

1. Message 'No files available for this repo/branch under the selected filter.'
   LikelyCause: The current branch or filter excludes files.
   Action: Change the 'Choose files to document' filter (for example select 'All files in the repository') or switch branch under 'Choose repository and branch'.

2. Files you expect are skipped after generation.
   LikelyCause: AI flagged those files as not relevant and they were not included in the 'Review files' modal.
   Action: When the 'Review files' modal appears, check the files you want and click 'Include selected files'.

Note: Estimated cost updates as you change selections; watch the bottom summary before generating.
